Case Study: Camarena Health achieves automated PHI protection and HIPAA compliance with Proofpoint

Proofpoint Keeps Camarena Health Safe From PHI Exposure

Camarena Health, a community healthcare provider serving about 35,000 patients across 12 clinics, needed a simpler, more reliable way to meet HIPAA requirements and prevent accidental PHI exposure. After rebuilding its network, the CIO found manual processes couldn’t reliably identify sensitive records scattered across email, network file shares, and SharePoint, creating compliance and breach risks.

Camarena deployed Proofpoint’s Email DLP, Encryption, and Data Discover to automatically find, classify, encrypt, and remediate PHI across email and file systems. The solution delivered dashboards and reports for visibility, automatic encryption of risky emails, continuous scanning and remediation of misplaced records, and a measurable reduction in exposure—giving Camarena an automated, scalable foundation for HIPAA compliance and secure communications.
